Charming New England Style Cottage on Lake Huron

Overview

Tawas Cottage Rental Photos and Description

We invite you to stay at our cottage on the 'Golden Mile' of Lake Huron. Our cottage is secluded from US-23 and sits on 110' feet of private beach. This unique shore line allows you to walk several miles along the sandy beach collecting shells and beach glass.

This quaint 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage offers many amenities, including new kithchen with all new appliances, fully stocked with cookware and dining supplies for 10+. New 32' LED TV in living room and a washer and dryer in basement. The charming front porch off the living room offers a perfect spot for relaxing with a book, sipping your morning coffee or enjoying an evening beverage.

The private beach is very wide and deep, affording you the ability to play frisbee, throw the football, sit around the bonfire or sit back in the adorondack chairs and spend evening hours star gazing. We envite you to enjoy our three kayaks for fun times on the water or a relaxing game of horseshoes in the backyard.

We are conveniently located between AuGres and the town of East Tawas where you can walk the city docks, shop, eat, or catch an evening movie at the local downtown theatre.

About Nancy Johnson

We purchased this cottage in 1995 from the original owner. We live in Birmingham, Michigan. My husband grew up vacationing at his family cottage a few doors down. We selected this location because of the familiarty, the beautiful sandy beach and sand bar. It is perfect for swimming and boating. We are less than 2.5 hours from home which gave us alot of flexibility with getaways.

This is our little haven and we cherish our time that we spend here. Because of many committments this summer we are not able to spend the entire summer enjoying our cottage. This is the first time renting for us, so we hope that we can share our summer delights with others who appreciate kicking back and enjoying family and friends.

Our family had a great time at this cottage. It is a very nice place with all the amenities you would need. The décor is very nice and comfortable. Great activities for the family to use like kayaks, tetherball, and horseshoes. The beach was very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would love to return there some time in the future.

Adorable Cottage!

This is an adorable little cottage! We were planning a return trip minutes after arrival. The cottage is very well equipped and had most everything we needed for our stay, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and board games. We found everything to be very clean, functioning and comfortable. The soft sand on the beach is awesome and great for long walks, lounging, sand castles, swimming. The mornings were very peaceful and you can't beat the beautiful sunrises. It was about a 10 minute drive into Tawas for groceries, shopping, restraurants and attractions. Nancy was great to work with and we hope to be dealing with her again in the future!

Wonderful!

Nancy,

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely cottage! We had such a great time! We loved having the beach right at the back door!!! It was just perfect for our young family....the baby slept and and we could all play on the beach and could easily check on her. Awesome! We made smores almost every evening and loved watching the stars in the evening! We went blueberry picking nearby and made some great pancakes, syrup and muffins out of them. The kids loved playing monopoly and taking the kayaks out in the water (we did too)! It was just wonderful!! Thank you so much! Can't wait to come back!

Week of Relaxation

Your cottage had all the amenities we could ask for and was very cozy. We had all the luxuries of being at home (a/c, city water, updated appliances, cable tv, etc), while being in a cottage on beautiful Lake Huron. The linens were very nice and the beds were comfy. Loved hanging out at the beach by day, and bonfire by night. Our dogs couldn't get enough swimming in. I truly saw my husband, who is typically stressed with work, transform into a relaxed state. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend your place to anyone. The location is perfect, and the sunrises incredible. Thanks!

My family and I fell in love with this little cottage. It has everything you could hope for! The cottage is very clean and comfortable. Everything is provided just pack your swimsuit and go. The beautiful white sandy beach is right outside your door. We spent many hours lounging in the large hammock overlooking Lake Huron and our kids had fun searching the beach for shells and sea glass. Nancy the owner was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks again Nancy we are already planning our next trip to your cottage!!
